The Queen Of the Stage.
Sarah 8eFnhaFdt,
MAKING A Tour OF THrs COUNTRY.

Everybody who reads the papers
knows that Sarah Bernhardt is again
in the United States, once more re-
peating her triumphs of 1860-81. AS
the greatest of living actresses, she is
rightly placed among our series of
celebrities.
Sarah's mother was Jewess, living
in Paris when her gifted daughter was
born. No mention is ever made of the
actresses father. It was in October,
1914, that Sarah was born. She was
christened in Roman Catholic church,
and schooled In convent for time.
When still quite young, she was taken
to Amsterdam to live with her mothers
mother. In her teens she returned to
Paris, where she lived in great pow
erty, relieved by occasional visits to
the theatre. Her mother thought to
make seamstress of her, but Sarah's
bias for the stage overcame this in
tention, and the young woman was en-
tered pupil at the ConserUatoire, where
she won the first prize for tragedy, and
thus earned the right to debut at the
Theatre Francois. Remarkable az it
may now seem, her earliest appear
ances were unsuccessful. She had been
in the profession more than eighteen
years before she was cast IN Victor
Hugo's Herman. Then was her op-
portunity. She took Paris by storm,
and her subsequent career has been
succession OF artistic triumphs. In 1879
she appeared in London; in the United
States, in 1SS0-81. She began brief
managerial experience in Paris in 1853,
and soon proved herself to be poor
business woman. Nature gave her
genius, but not financial ability. Since
the early summer last year she has been
on this continent Sarah left her hus-
band-M. Dan1ala, Greek, to whom
she was married in 1SS2-soon after the
ceremony. The Unmatched couple
have no child. Sarah's family, which
consists of several interesting young
people, came into the world long be-
fore their mothers marriage. A sister
of the actress and her eldest son &C.
company her in her present tour.

A GRANDSON OF LOUIS XVI.
Mystery of the Life of Colonel Rion,
a Ward OF John c. Calhoun.

Colonel James H. Rion, one of the
most stinguished lawyers at the South
Carolina bar, died in Wlnnsboro, S, c.,
on December 18th. A mystery always
surrounded Colonel Rions birth. When
a boy he came from Canada to Washing
ton and was Immediately taken under
the protection OF John g. Calhoun. then
Secretary OF State under President
Tyler. Calhoun was very kind to this
boy and his mother. There were many
speculations regarding Colonel Rion's
origin, and the interest taken in him by
Calhoun conld not be accounted for.
Just before his death the colonel made
a statement to the entire family
and DR.. Hanikin. and if true he had In
his veins the blood of the Bourbons. He
was in perfect possession of his reason
ing faculties. His family desiring, it is
believed, 10 publish full statement OF
the facts, have kept all this as quiet as
possible. The substance of Colonel
Rion's statement is that he was the son
of the Dauphin of France, who would
have been King Louis XVII but for the
revolution. The Dauphin who was
reported to have died at an early age
and to have been imbecile. had not
d..
there had been reared under the name
OF De Rion. He entered the English
army and married a Miss Hunter,
Colonel Rion's father, DE Rion," died
in Colonel Rion's infancy, and the latter
and his mother were placed under the
charge of Mr.. Calhoun by the Austrian
ambassador at Washington, with
statement OF tAe facts, and upon certain
conditions, one IF which was that Rion
should never go to Europe unless in
charge Of the Austrian authorities and
on al Austrian man-of war, and
further that he should never accept civil
office in this country. These conditions
were faithfully observed. The secret of
his birth was told three years ago to
Colonel Rion eldest daughter, who
went to Europe to find out what she
could about the Dauphin. Colonel Rion
had in his possession a very valuable
god snuff box set with diamonds on the
top of which there is a monogram Of the
Orleans family wrought in diamonds.
The snUff-box was never exhibited to any
OF the Colonels family until he was on
his observation-disclosures Is. CT Cor. of

SLIPPERY JAMES.
James Buck brought to the door
Of the jail and escapes.

Sunday morning between one and
two o'clock, two pistol shots startled
the residents Of Broad street in the
vicinity Of the jail The shots came
from q pistol held in the hands of
officer Campbell, and were fired after
James Buck, who had just broken
from his grasp.
On Saturday telegram was received
in this city from John f. Mensing, of
Philadelphia, asking that James Buck
be arrested for the larceny of $2394
and some clothing. A warrant Was
issued by Squire Daniel E. Woodruff,
and Saturday night about twelve
o'clock armed with the legal document,
Officers Garrison and Campbell pro
ceeded to the house of Thomas Ever
ham, on South Pearl street, but could
not find him there. They then went
to the residence of Thomas Fithian on
Water street, where they entered the
house and found Buck lying upon the
sofa. He submitted to the arrest and
went along quietly with the officers.
He was not handcuffed although the
officers are supplied with them by the
city. Everything proceeded nicely
and the jail door was reached without
event. Officer Garrison stepped up on
the step to ring the bell, and Officer
Campbell stood on the walk with the
prisoner. While the turnkey YVES
dressing and coming down stairs, Buck
asked for chew of tobacco from
Campbell. Mr. Campbell offered him
some smoking tobacco, which Buck
stopped to put in his mouth from the
palm of his hand At this moment he
ducked his head, slipped under the
officers arm, and was off like a deer
Officer Campbell fired two shots after
him but he made good his escape.
The last seen of him he was going up
Atlantic street, like flash.
Turnkey Albertson opened the door
to take in the prisoners, but was met
only by the two empty handed officers.
James. Buck was not there, he had
flown.
1t is reported that Buck was seen
going out Shiloh pike yesterday. 1t is
supposed be was making for what is
known as the ''Barrens," near Salem.
Buck is slippery customer, and when
he is again arrested he will not be
allowed the privileges Of gentleman.

One of our U. S. mail agents informs
us that, in his opinion, mistake has
been made in placing an extra train
on the West Jersey railroad so late in
the day. If the hour of leaving Bridge
ton had been $50 a. m., instead of $50
p. M, business men could have had all
of the Philadelphia morning papers
and four-fifths of their regular mail at
eight O'clock, two hours earlier than
we now get it. Such an arrangement
would prove quite an advantage to
business men and manufacturers, en-
abling them to get their orders on the
afternoon freight. 1t would also prove
advantageous to other towns on the
line of the road, as an advance mail
could be sent to or from Philadelphia
to all towns that wished it. The agents
views are good, and if we are to have
an extra train, we hope the railroad
authorities will put it On at 6.3 q. M,
and thus do our people real, sub
stantial service.

GYPSIES ARRESTED.
Two Gypsy Women Arrested for
Petty Thieving.

For some time past there have been
a number of gypsies camping near
Elmer. Thursday two of them (wo
men) drove into this city and took
their horse and wagon to Bohl's livery
stable. One Of them was an elderly
woman, the other much younger and
was accompanied with child. About
half past one they went into Ogden's
restaurant and took dinner Shortly
after they had had dinner and gone
Mr.. Ogden missed his silver knives and
forks with which they had eaten. He
gave description of them to the
police and search was made for them.
About three o'clock Officer Fithian
discovered them on the corner of
Laurel and Commerce streets, and
arrested the elder one. The other
made her escape. Officer Parvin fol
To- wed her and arrested her in her
W; gon at the livery stable.
The women were then taken to the
restaurant and thoroughly searched.
Great pockets with the capacity of a
large bag were found in their dresses,
but nothing Of the lost property could
be found. Of course, under the Cir
cumstances, they could not be held
and they were released, and they de.
parted.
There is but little doubt but that
they stole the goods but they had
ample time to secrete them which they
probably did. Nothing could be found
in their wagon. It is pity if they
committed the theft that the goods
could not be found and the women
made to pay the penalty Of their crime

Bazaar Sale.

A large number of horsemen and
farmers were in attendance at the sale.
of horses, carriages, sleighs, harness,
&C., at T. w. Williams Bazaar on
Warren street. In fact the appearance
of this made one think of Hearkness'
Bazaar in Philadelphia. Persons were
present from Camden, and points all
over the county. The prices realized
from the different articles put up were
very fair. One wagon only was with
drawn on account of the lowness OF g
bid. Buggies brought $50, Surrey
wagons, with tops, $176.00 Sleighs
averaged $4,000. The horses seemed
to be the principal attraction. Six
teen horses catalogued for sale, but
only fourteen were put under the ham
mer. OF the fourteen horses offered
only four were withdrawn. No. l,
''Black Dutckman,n brought $76, and
was bought by George Harris,
No. 2, "Topsy," was bought by Fred.
| Fritz for $12l.00.
George Harmon bought No. 8,
Harry" for $10S.O0.
No. 4, Katie, was bought for $50,
Marion Gould being the purchaser.
No. 5, Tom" was bought by Samuel
Davis, OF Camden, for $4,000.
No. 7, Black mare, was purchased by
Elmer Brooks for $500.
Ne. s, Brown horse, was bought by
Atwood H. Turner for $50.
Florence Fralinger' brought No. II,
Sorrel mare, for $122.00

PORT NORRIS ROBBERY.
An Employee of John G. Garrison
Steals $35.OO.

Wednesday night while Capt. and Mrs.
J. G. Garrison, living near the depot in
Port Norris, were absent from their
home, they were robbed of about S35
which they had in the house. For
about week Capt. Garrison has had
employed with him q colored man by
the name of David Williams, and who
he had every reason to suppose was
honest. The Captain is Quarter Mas
ter Of the G. A. r. Post at that place,
and also treasurer of the Methodist
Sunday school He had as nearly as
he can guess about $500, which he
kept locked up in large refrigerator
in the kitchen.
Capt. Garrison had gone off early in
the evening to take Presiding Elder
Dobbins to North Port Norris, and
Mrs. Garrison went to church. In her
haste to get off-she being late-she
overlooked the fact that the keys of
the refrigerator were left 10 the lock.
Williams had told his employer that
he would wait up for him and put his
horse away when he came. home.
After Mrs. Garrison had gone Williams
went out to the hotel and bought a
glass of beer, paying for it with a
nickel He then returned home, and
seeing the keys in the lock opened the
refrigerator and stole the money, leav-
ing three or four dollars in the box.
Shortly after Williams went to the
hotel and bought pint of whiskey,
claiming that Mrs. Garrison was very
sick and that she wanted it, paying for
it with an old-time fifty cent coin,
which belonged to the G. A. r. money.
Since that time nothing has been seen
of Williams.
1t was not more than fifteen minutes
after Williams was at the hotel before
Mr.. Garrison returned home. He saw
the keys in the lock, and the fact that
Williams was no where about made
him suspicious that something was
wrong, and Immediately made an in
vestigation, discovering his loss. Search
was immediately made for Williams
but he could not be found.
Capt. Garrison then drove over to
Leesburg and gave the officer descrip-
ton of the man. Next morning he
came to Bridgeton and gave the city
! officers description of the thief.
David Williams is a colored man,
rather short, about twenty-four years
old. He has large scar on his fore
head. He also wears pair of new
boots with g patch on the toe of the
right boot. The officers here are keep
ing sharp lookout for him.

That the battle does not always end
in favor of the strongest is true in one
instance. A certain smithy, staunch
and strong, in the Third ward, at
tempted, in wrestle, to throw a
widow. Since then he has no desire
to have anything further to do with
that woman. 1t is no fun to be thrown
by one of the weaker sex. The day
after the wrestling event he was dizzy
for twenty-four hours, and even yet
has not fully recovered from the effects
of the fall which he received.
